Showtime
by BigCrazy
Showtime is a Fabric mod for 1.21.8 that adds a throwable confetti-style ball and the Showstopper, a mobility tool that lets players cross gaps, scale walls and push other players.
What it does
Thrown balls bounce around and leave a mess of confetti on the floor, over walls and across the map. The mod was made for ModFest, and its tools are meant to be used in play rather than as building blocks. Showtime is listed under Transportation, with Equipment and Game mechanics as secondary categories.
The Showstopper is crafted and used as a mobility tool. It lets a player cross gaps, scale walls and push people, and it pairs with a Mace cosplay of a Soldier from Team Fortress 2 for a themed loadout. Showtime needs nothing beyond Fabric and runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for Fabric only, for 1.21.8, with 1.0.4 as the latest build from 2025-09-22. The source code and issue tracker are public, and the code is under the MIT License, which makes it open source.

Map-covering confetti
